Recently, Tile introduced “Lost and Found” QR labels, which are essentially a low-tech method of recovering your belongings. The firm stated that they should be used on little or possibly not very valuable objects like “travel mugs, musical instruments, sports equipment, and earphone cases.” The business hasn’t introduced a new product before Life360’s takeover of the company.

The new stickers are essentially a fancy version of an airport luggage tag, unlike its Tile trackers, which use Bluetooth to show you where an object is physically situated. Anyone who finds it can scan the QR code to see your contact details, which they can then use to get in touch with you if they’re sincere and want to return the item. Privacy is less of a concern than it is with Tile’s trackers or Apple AirTags because there is no tracking or beeping to indicate where your thing is. The labels should never be seen in public social media posts, for example, as this would still expose your contact information to the public. Although they are considerably less expensive than the $25 trackers at $15 for three sheets of five labels, $1 for a sticker still feels like a lot.
